This communication presents the results of the first field measurement campaign to characterize the large- and small-scale propagation statistics of the peer-to-peer wireless link in an operating petroleum refinery. Results for ground level transmission and transmission between ground level and devices mounted 18 m from the ground on a distillation stack are included. The measurements characterize the 20-MHz $2 \times 1$ multiple-input, single-output channel at 2.45 GHz. Analysis of the measurement data reveals an environment with severe small-scale fading and multipath dispersion but very mild large-scale signal attenuation given the level of obstruction on the links.
